Purdue v. Indiana (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Look at their stats. Ivey was by far the more efficient player tonite.
We are always one player away from being FF possible. This year is PG...we have no one that is good. IT had 8 points but how much does he give up defensively...a lot. Seniors sucked tonight!
All those missed fts plus 4 or 5 more that we didnt get on missed front end 1n1s

Sasha is our best defender. Stats prove it, previous announcers have pointed it out. No one else except Edey even comes close....
he's not NBA ready, if he plays in that league better get used to being fouled, falling to the court doesn't always sell a call. Terrible last shot too
It's definitely our weakness. It's also a weakness that can often bite a team in the tournament. I'm not feeling the 'magic' right now, but there is still a long way to go.
That last shot was so embarrassing...an no, hes not NBA ready, and those who rant and rave about him being ready/the next Ja Morant don't watch the NBA.
What happened when Ivey had his temper tantrum. IU won the game right there as momentum totally changed. Go back and look at the Boilers body language after that.
Gillis came to play tonight. Need to run more offense through him.
Or, he could, I don't know, coach him? Players play how they're either coached or allowed to play.
I’ve been saying it all year. Painter may have screwed his chance at a NC by not getting a PG in the portal. We have the other pieces. Ius guards tore us up.
They were up 2 and had the ball with tre missing a 2 ft shot by 2 feet
I wouldn’t trade anyone for the Johnson guy but Phinisee shouldn’t be able to get in the lane at will.
Every fan base says this about their best player. "If he would have done what I do on rookie mode of NBA2K he'd be way better."
I used to say the same thing about Carsen. Then I realized guys like him are the only chance of me seeing Purdue in a final four in my lifetime. Lot more problems than whatever you think makes him a moron to fix if we're not seeing another tournament flop.
The momentum changed on Tre’s first turnover when we were up 8.
LOL. Then we came back and took the lead. 12-3 turnover margin and 7-17 from the line beat us.
could not believe his last shot didn't touch the rim, in the first half, I rhought he was throwing the game it looked that bad.
Boilers had to expend way too much energy catching up after IU went up big. Ivey is good, but Painter needs to put a leash on him.
When Sasha is the guy trying to run around and close out their hottest shooter in Phinesee, we are in a whole heap of trouble. CMP leaving him in there to chase around their hot hand is just mind blowing.
Haha, that is a good one. Sasha routinely gets burned, cannot fight through screens and is slow closing out on three point shooters. That being said, we don’t have a good permitter defender this year so he may get the title by virtue of a lack of competition, but that is like being king of the jackasses. Someone has to have the title but not exactly an honor.
I dont think you get what I am trying to say. Everyone has mistakes and bad games, etc...but Ivey makes things so much worse with his selfish bull in a china shop nonsense. Its literally dumb, careless basketball.
I think he made some better decisions today with a few of his pull-ups.
He can't guard you. Stop. And Ivey was the only who could score, and he only missed two more shots than Sasha, who clearly forced the most bad shots by a Purdue player tonight.
This. I was like why the f would you swat the ball out of bounds like that.
100% accurate. It's 100% on his back. Had to assume from his praise that he was confident in Morton playing point because obviously we knew from past experience that Hunter was a decent backup at best. IT was a liability at all times. Who does that leave? I guess from lack of pursuit, I believed that CMP had belief in EM. Either he was totally wrong or we were totally wrong to trust him on that.
Let's face it. It hurts to say but this time will be lucky to get to the sweet 16. We could have easily lost another 3-4 games already.
Physical D Is usually a struggle for tre, but his whole game was effected. So many things could be pointed towards this loss, but something as simple as Zach making half his fts would be enough since Purdue would have some cushion a
Fawwck…
we don’t close well.
Having said that, it’s only sporting that we let Indinia win once every six years.
